dogman1 5 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 i am looking for advice from experienced terrier breeders, is 4 to old to take a first litter from a border terrier. i have heard that the age should b 3 max and this could lead to problem pregnancies. thanks in advance Quote Link to post
"Earth!" 503 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 not at all pal. at 4 year old, the bitch has had a few season graft and has proven herself worthy of a litter to a proven working dog. lads i know wouldnt entertain breeding until 5 or 6 year old. 1 Quote Link to post

mo-jo 0 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 i had a six year old patterdale bitch, goulds/wheeler here in australia that had to have a c - section and that was $ 1000 three pups where born two males and one female, one male died at birth and the other two i am training , both dogs are coming along great, 10 months old now, wouldnt part with them. but they both fight each other all the time, which shits me off, Quote Link to post
donnyc 1,203 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Should be fine mate as long as she is fit and healthy ..4 is no age Quote Link to post
HGN 150 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 what is the cut off age for folk - 6/7 yo? Quote Link to post
Guest busterdog Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 what is the cut off age for folk - 6/7 yo? IMO there isn't one, as long as the bitch is fit and well there should be no problems. On the flip side, i recently took an eleven year old dog for a firtility test and out of three tests he produced three sperm.... , the advice i was given is to "use it or loose it". It seems that if you don't take regular sperm from a dog his nuts will atrophy....(waist away), i was told to let the dog ride a bitch in season at least once a year even if he didn't enter the bitch he would shoot his bolt and there for keep his nuts in action.
